Federal Services Data hub: mysterious, centralized database will contain tons of your private data

While many news outlets are discussing the exposure of the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs, far fewer are discussing the “Federal Data Services Hub,” a database created by the Affordable Care Act.

The hub will allow access to one of the largest centralized collections of personal data in American history, perhaps even dwarfing the Next Generation Identification program and its predecessor, Secure Communities.

Stephen Parente, finance professor t the University of Minnesota, and Paul Howard, director of the Manhattan Institute’s Center for Medical Progress, wrote that the data hub “could be the largest consolidation of personal data in the history of the republic.”

“If you think identity theft is a problem now, wait until Uncle Sam serves up critical information on 300 million American citizens on a platter,” they wrote.

However, the government claims that it isn’t actually a database in the traditional sense.

The hub acts as a way to route mass amounts of personal information between state and federal systems and will not store consumer information directly, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

The data hub will be operated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the authority of the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, but many others will have access to the personal information contained therein.



Data will include everything from Social Security numbers to income data, family size, citizenship and immigration status, incarceration status and enrollment status in other health plans, Investor’s Business Daily reported.

While CMS claims that the data hub won’t actually store our personal information, an Obama administration regulatory notice seems to contradict that claim.

In the filing, it is revealed that information will be “maintained in the system” and will include “but may not be limited to” the following:

Quote :

the applicant’s first name, last name, middle initial, mailing address or permanent residential address (if different from the mailing address), date of birth, Social Security Number (if the applicant has one), taxpayer status, gender, ethnicity, residency, email address, and telephone number.

It continues to state that the “system will collect and maintain information that the applicant or the application filer on behalf of other applicants submits pertaining to” citizenship or immigration status, enrollment in “Federally funded minimum essential health coverage,” Indian status, and enrollment in employer-sponsored coverage.

It gets considerably worse from there with, “requests for and accompanying documentation to justify receipt of individual responsibility exemptions,” employer information, status as a veteran, health status information (like pregnancy status, disability, blindness), household income “including tax return information from the IRS, income information from the Social Security Administration, and financial information from other third party sources.”

To make it even more clear that CMS isn’t being all that truthful about their claims, the filing states that the “The purpose of this system is to collect, create, use and disclose PII [personally identifiable information] on individuals who apply for eligibility determinations.”

To make matters even worse, the filing states that the federal government claims the authority disclose highly personal information like that outlined above “without the consent of the individual.”

This information can be disclosed to a disturbingly broad range of entities and individuals, including “agency contractors, consultants, or grantees” who claim they “need to have access to the records” to help Obamacare function.

Individuals in law enforcement also have access to the records, in order to “investigate potential fraud.”

It is quite clear that many are quite concerned about this new database.
